Cool Water

If I hadn't gone through hell, I wouldn't have alighted on your face, on your face, on your face
Those tricky little flames were nothing but delighted as they burned, burned, burned me on my way
When I reached the other side, your arms were open wide, you were the cool, cool water for the pain
If I hadn't missed the boat, I wouldn't have collided with my fate, with my fate, with my fate
Those tricky little waves were nothing but delighted as they crashed and pushed me back again
But when I reached the other side, your arms were open wide, you were the cool, cool water for the pain
It doesn't matter that I fought so hard
They don't give trophies for trying
But I found the prize when I looked into your eyes
If I hadn't lost the bet, I wouldn't have decided to behave, to behave, to behave
Those tricky little players were nothing but delighted as I caved
But when I reached the other side, your arms were open wide, you were the cool, cool water
It doesn't matter that I fought so hard
They don't give trophies for trying
But I found the prize when I looked into your eyes
If I hadn't given up, I wouldn't have been chided to be brave, yes, be brave, you must be brave
Those tricky little games were nothing but delighted as I rolled the dice and I played
When I reached the other side, your arms were open wide, cool water
